I Say Marvin are the newest, most exciting thing to happen in music since Elvis Presley shat himself to death.
March 2006 saw I Say Marvin perform for the first time at the unprepossessing Swan in Truro and by the end of their jaw-dropping set, everyone present knew they had witnessed something very special.
During the ensuing months, the band thrilled audiences throughout the South West with their particular brand of funked-up pop, gaining fans and plaudits alike. After their appearance at the Ripcurl Unleashed Festival, supporting The Automatic and Feeder, local press described them as “the most vital band in the South West”.
Friends from schooldays in Penzance, Sam Power (lead vocals, guitar), Tom Weeks (bass, vocals) and Ashley Matthews (guitar, keys) teamed up with like-minded Jonny Halliday (keys) and Jim Preston-Evans (drums) whilst all studying at Truro College.
Tired of the po-faced blatherings of their contemporaries, I Say Marvin set out their dance floor manifesto with a withering combination of wit and drama – lyrically incisive, musically irresistible.
Autumn found them entering the studio with friend and producer, Hugh Jones (Echo & The Bunnymen, Dodgy, Hope of The States), to record four songs that resulted in MySpace log-jam and radio plays on Radio 1 and Xfm, with Steve Lamacq tipping them as one of THE bands for 2007.
The new single, Powerdown, is available for download from March 19th and on CD from April 23rd

"“If I Say Marvin never make it big I may be forced to douse myself in petrol and set fire to myself in a town square somewhere. The greatest indie disco band in the world today, and the best thing to come out of Cornwall of all time, pushing the Pasty, clotted cream, and the steam engine back down the ranks.” George
